(shamelessly stolen)
Sitting at around 90m on the Southbank, 240 Blackfriars Road designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris architect is a 20 floor development that will provide 224,000 sq ft of office accommodation, currently due for completion early 2014.
Unusually for a central London multi-storey office, this building has an insitu concrete frame with post-tensioned floor slabs, a form of construction associated usually associated with residential towers.
I headed down to LON a while back now for another poke about Battersby with GAJ & Adders, except when I arrived plans had seemingly changed.
Adders had to work a bit later, and then a bit more..
GAJ was stuck in some North LON pub seemingly FFS!, no doubt in a great attempt to stand me up haha.
Much later and having rocked up in flip-flops I was scratching my head on what the pair of us could dick about in/on to kill a few hours whilst we waited for Adders!
The most ridiculous pub crawl across the City led us to 240 which seemed a good chill spot to arse about on and sink a few more Kronies.
Not sure if I was really up for climbing crap inebriated, but here goes...
Flip-Flopping
Such a stealthy entrance lol, the sun was shining and no fucker took a second look as we climbed the scaff and into the core with a couple of cold ones, honest.
As the sun set we poked about the building site before heading up top.
Once up I asked GAJ to press the shutter release as I perched high on some girder above the City;
for a further 30 seconds he proceeded to piss on the track workers below whilst I struggled to keep still.
We climbed the top section of the structure and onto the crane where I managed to grab at least one half decent pic.
We sunk a few more Kronies whilst waiting for the wind to drop and I shot up the crows nest whilst GAJ proceeded to dick about below.
Looking back up
As I headed down I found GAJ sat in the cab chilling to Club Classics, no chance of a brew to sober up, as the stingy twats had left us no milk.
I told him to shape up for at least 1 pic before we bailed..
..Good job really as this was the best he could conjure up.
